For your target company, also pick three to four companies in the same industry for comparison

  • Collect financial statement for both the target company and its comparable.
  • Estimate EBITDA P / E ratio, EV/EBITDA ratios for both the target company and its comparable
  • Estimate the Enterprise value and equity value using the comparable EV / E * BITDA ratios
